This place is about three minutes walk from the Ratchatewi BTS station. Local food is available all around. Across the street, there's a lot of restaurants and a chicken buffet place you can try. 7 Eleven is just nearby too.
There's something that I just love about Monomer. It's so close to the BTS station, yet it is located in an alley where everything is so quiet. Everyone in the area is so respectful of each other. There's a tailor, prep school and two other hostels nearby.
Check in was a breeze. You can change your towels once every three days if i'm not mistaken. You can also do your laundry here. Half of the laundry basket is about 150 baht which in my opinion is a bit pricey but if you're desperate, this should be enough. Breakfast is free and they often give toasts, juice and so on.
The reception was very warm here. There's always someone to greet you in the morning. Makes you feel welcomed.
If there's one thing that I think Monomer can improve on, I think that would be security. There are two main doors on the ground floor. They are often left ajar or slightly open probably because there are a lot of people going in an out. At night, the door is locked but still, that's one area that can be improved on.
The room door does not have any security measures in place. Anyone can go in and out. There's no check in or out using your door card. I feel like some sort of security measure should be in place especially with the number of people going in and out.
Other than that, this place is great for a short term or a long term stay. Its close to everything, the BTS and many other things that you probably need on a trip. I've had a very enjoyable trip and I was able to come back and rest in the middle of the day when i was tired.
Monomer is always a great place to come back to. I'll definitely stay here on my next trip to Bangkok. Thank you Monomer!
